INDUSTRY_RND — an agent skill by neej4.Key capabilities
- →Evaluate new technology viability
- →Benchmark feature performance
- →Draft technical design documents
- →Develop migration and integration plans
- →Perform cost analysis for compute and maintenance
How it works
The skill guides the execution of sprint-based R&D projects by evaluating technology against existing stacks and company OKRs. It produces artifacts including benchmark results, cost analyses, and migration plans.
Inputs & outputs
When to use INDUSTRY_RND
- →Evaluate if a new technology fits the current project architecture
- →Benchmark the performance of a proposed feature against current solutions
- →Draft a technical design document for a new product prototype
- →Develop a migration plan for replacing manual workflows with automation
About this skill
Industry R&D Project
Profile
- Duration: 1-6 months (sprint-based)
- Compute: Company cloud budget (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Budget: Company-funded
- Scope: Prototype that can become production feature
Constraints
- Must align with company/team OKRs
- IP considerations (can't publish everything)
- Must show ROI to stakeholders (time saved, revenue impact, cost reduction)
- Production-readiness matters (not just accuracy)
- Must work with existing tech stack
- Security and compliance requirements apply
Output Expectations
- Internal demo to stakeholders
- Technical design doc
- Benchmark results vs current solution
- Migration/integration plan
- Cost analysis (compute, maintenance, opportunity cost)
What Industry R&D Looks Like
- "Can we replace this manual process with ML?"
- "How do we reduce latency of feature X by 50%?"
- "Build a prototype of [competitor feature] for our platform"
- "Evaluate if [new technology] is viable for our use case"
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Must align with company OKRs
- →Subject to IP publication restrictions
- →Requires demonstration of ROI to stakeholders
How it compares
This workflow enforces a structured R&D process that requires stakeholder ROI justification and production-readiness validation rather than just theoretical research.
